THE CITY OF THE LIVING,

In a long vanished age, whose varied story
No record has day,
So long ago expired its grief and glory,
There tlourished, far away,
measure,
A city fair and wide,
| Wherein the dwellers lived in peace and
pleasure,
And never any died.
Disease and pain and death, those stern
marauders.
Which mar our worlds fair face,
Never encroached upon the pleasant borders
OF that bright dwelling-place.
No fear of parting and no dread of dying
Could ever enter there;
No mourning for the lost, no anguisled
crying
Made any face less fair.
Without the city wall, Death rrignei as
ever,
And graves rose side by side:
Within, the dwelrrs laughed at his en-
deavor,
And never any died
O happiest of all earth 5 favored places!
. bliss to d well therein
To live in he sweet light of loving faces,
And fear no grave between.
To feel no death damp gathe ing cold and
colder,
DiSputing life's warm truth:
To live on, never loneller nor older
Radient in deathless youth
And hurrying from the worlds remotest
quarters,
a tide of pilgrims flowed
Across broad plains and over mighty waters,
To find that blest abode.
Where never Death should come between
and sever
Them from their loved apart,
Where they might work, and will, and live
forever,
Still holding heart to heart.
And so they lived, in happiness and pleasure,
And grew in powe: and pride,
And did great deeds, and laid up store of
treasure,
And never any died
And many years rolled on and saw them
striving
With undated breath
And other years still found and left them
living,
And gave no hope of death.
Yet listen, hapleSs soul, whom angels pity,
Craving boon like this
Mark how the dweller5 in the wondrous city
Grew weary of their bliss.
One and another who had been concealing
The pain of life's long thra)l,
Forsook their pleasant places and came
stealing
Outside the city wall.
Craving with wish that brooked no more
denying
SO long it had been crossed -
rh. blessed possibility OF dying,
The treasure they had lost !
Daily the current of rest-seeking mortals
Swelled to a broader tide,
Till none We're left within the city's portals,
Aud graves grew green outside.
Would it be worth the having, or the giving,
The boon OF endless breath?
All. for the WEAKNESS that comes of living,
There is no cure but death.
Ours were indeed fate deserving pity
Were that sweet rest denied
And few, methnks, would care to find the
city
Where never any died.

His 'smarch from Atlanta TO the

His 'Fmrch from Atlanta to the
Sea- is a favo,ite theme with General
Sherman on all occasions when he is
called upon to give rhetorical exhi-
bit;on OF his patriotism. Lately, at a
banquet OF Tie New York Board OF
Trade, he quoted from Colonel ". L.
Trenholm, of South Carolina, as say
ing:
Hard and stern as taat march was
I am glad you did It"
Colonel Trenholm is reported BY
the Augusta C1non;cje IS being pres
ert at the meeting, making speech
and falling to deny what Sherman
said. It is reasonable to suppose
then that he was correctly quoted.
Colonel Trenholm was conspicuous in
South Carolina as q brave, gallant
Confederate soldier. He was in the
midst OF the fray, and witness to the
narrowing scenes, the consequence o.
Sherman's march. Then it is strange
indeed that lie shoald be glad Sher-
nan :'did it" Glad that Sherman
marched through this land Of ours,
destroying cities, debauching peacefu}
homes, scattering destruction on lis
line of march. Who else in South
Carolina is glad that Sherman passed
.At!anta-that he reached Columbia
and burnt the capital OF the State:
No South Carol;nian 'to the manor
born unless It be Colonial Trenholm
would say to tie fcrocious Sherman,
Hard and stern as that march was !
an glad you did it. It cannot be
that he who proved himself SO valiant.
brave and noble as Colonel Trenholm
il warning for South Carolina, should
already forget her suferings and say
to her enemies 7 am glad you pillased
and burnt and robbed my State. We
will not concede that the high Office
he holds, and the honors of the Norti!
have destroyed Colonel Trenhoim's
memory and sworn him to the iron
clad oath.

of Smythe & -Adser published by You

ject to some Of their statements wl.lcil
might lead to misrepresentation OF S'.le
true iacts ofthe case as given By them.
We never did express regrets at
what las t;.anspired; nor do we now
regret, nor did We then regret the al
fCavit submitted.
That affidavit Vas tl.ue.
We did not feel cbligedto tell them
OF it before it was given to the pubic.
We did not know then (aoy more
tlan nov) what had become OF our
cotton. We thought this the best
course. {Te did not accuse Smythe e
& Adger of the theft; but, we knew
then, as well IS now, that we had lost
the cotton, and that the cotton had
been sent them. When we received
their "Dull- doing" letter we felt (na-
turally) angry and indignant.
AZ. sSmytae told nc we had misar-
derstoou his letter; thai it was not in
tended as threat; that our affidavit
had injured him abroad and at home,
etc.
st this I felt and did express regrets,
and y way Of showing him that We

to imrugn his honesty, asked him to

The forty-ninth Congress with the
closing Of the Eth OF March, passed
away and became an object to be re-
membered. Nevertheless, It's achiev-
ments will live when the men who
composed the fortv-nin Congress are
dead and forgotten. The Interstate
Commerce law; the Electoral College
amendments; the oleomaTsarine tax
bill; the Atlantic and Pacific land
grant folfeitara bill; the Mexican pen
son act: tie tenure OF Office measure;
and the bill to re-elDburse the Freed
mans Bank. These and other lesser
acts will make this Congress famous
for century to come. There is one
thing to be regretted that Congress
thus adjourned without the river and
harhor bill becoming law. This
provided 100000 for The Charleston
ietties and smaller amounts for Other
river improvements, Its failure to
reach the dignity Of a law will suspend
ali work Of this character for Q year to
come. This will work great damage,
especially to the Charleston barbor,
the jetties of which are IN an unin-
ished condition, and leaving them
thas, the work already done viii be
injured more or less. The bill at a
late hour was approved by both
houses of Congress, but the President
refused to give it his signature on the
ground that he was not allowed time
by the dila CRY action OF Congress to
give it proper consideration. Our
METROPOLITAN daily is Jealous admin
istration advocate, and worked hard
for tie Charleston harbor, and with
some curiosity its editorial col
umrs were scanned to see if its e,'thu,
siss.n for the President had abated by
his extreme sclupulousness. But like
the old Quaker, who was worsbiper
of president Jackson, when told that
Jackson had killed man, because lie
would not Move out Of bis wa, re-
Piled, swell, why dida't the man laore?'
The Na:cs and Courier is loyal still.

The Abbeviile .NcIium SAYS that &C

The Abbeviile -Ncdium says that ac-
cording to the last report OF the Grand
Jury CT Clarendon County, q very bad
state of affairs must exist IN that coun-
ty Publishing parts OF the report
referring to the financial state OF tue
county, the condition OF the jail, roads
and bridges, and the courthouse, the
.Nediun comments thus:
We presume this is true picture
coming from such a source and it
shows Q deplorable state Of things
4 dirty, filthy jail, infested with lice,
with worn out stove and cooking
utensils IS a bad showing for Ga en-
ightened community. Unsafe anG
dangerous bridges add to the calami-
ties Of the county. The courthouse
is 10 better. but soiled with obscene
writing, without carpets, insufficient
accommodations for the bar and the
juries end 70 spittoons. Worst Of al
the lawyers and others indulge in the
iii;hy practice OF splitting on tie floor.
1t is high time for reform in Ciar-
endon. 1t would do our friends good
to see the clean, white walls of our
courthouse, the elegant desks and
chairs for the members CT the bar,
the substantial basging on the floors
and steps up and down stairs and the
general air of clenllness and decency
that prcvades the whole establishment.
The Jail is we'll ventilated, scrubbed,
swept and kept clean. 1t has stoves
for tie comfort Of tie prisoners.
It would be pleasure to contra
dict and scold the 5iediuna fo- giving
Clarendon such bad name, but we
can't do 1t, The mortifying picture
drawn by The lIed;um is only loo true.
Then let US reform. The jail should
be rid OF lice, the appearance OF the
Courthouse improved, and above all
may the County Commissioners man
age to keep the expenses OF the coun-
ty within the limits Of the levy provid-
ed by the Legislature. If this is done
the fall Of the year will find Clarendon
in q far better condition than now.
The credit of the county which at
present is about lost Will be restored
and with it the confidence OF the rco-
pie in the ability Of the County Com
missioners TO pay their contracted
debts. This will enable the county
affairs to be administered
1T tl.air actual cost, whereas,
for the last few years, on ac-
count of the uncertainty CT It's obliga-
tons being paid, parties never con
:racted to do work for the county ex
,ept for large additional sum. The
present Board OF Commissioners have
t in their power to remedy in part
his evil; it is to be hoped they will
atiliza the opportunity in the way
mentioned.

The late decision Of the State Su-
preme Court taking from Trial Jus
tees the right TO try petty larceny
crimes, reaches farther and effects
in the same degree the trial right Of
the Justice Court in number Of otl-
er penal offences. The law declared
by the appellate court, in the deci-
sion referred to is, that Trial Justices
have trial jurisdiction only in those
cases where the punishment is fixed
by statute at not more than 500 fine
and 80 days Imprisonment. It follows
that, without regard to the gravity Of
the offence, unless the penalty is pre-
scribed, and comes within these
bounds, the trial right is not within
the province of the Trial Justice Court.
Even though the statute may in SO
many words give this court the juris-
diction, if it fails to declare what the
punishment is, it is cebalred never
tbeless. By analogy it is proper to
presume that the offence of buying,
receiving or aiding in the concealment
of stolen goods, obtaining money un-
der false pretences, breach of trust,
violation of contract, entry on land
after notice, violation of laborers con-,
tract, and others, heretofore frequent

So far but one county, befke!ey has
made bid for an experimental sta
ton. There are two Of these stations
to be established, one il the upper
and the other in the lower section OF
the State. They are to be located in
the two counties making the most
fattering iaducemert. The stations
besides being a benefit to the State at
large, viii each, be great advantage
to the COUNT where located. The i'm
mediate opportunity offered the farm
ers in the locality OF the station to no.
tice and profit by the experiments
made il introduced seeds, and the
manner of working and cultivating,
will be q great help to them.
Again, one Of these stations in a ccun-
ty is bound to cause, to a greater or
less degree more interest among the
farmers in their crops An ambitious
stimulus to excel would be excited,
causing more careful and Jealous at
tention to farms. Apart from this
good result the people OF The county
would directly profit by the consider
able sum OF money which the fitting
up OF the experimental farm and the
work carried on would cost, and be
diiGG'assd in their midst.
The farmers and everybody else in
Clarendon would no doubt be glad to
have one of these stations established
here. Geographically our county is
well situated to be chosen as the place
for TIE lower station. But, besides
this advantage presented By nature
what further inducement could be Of
ferred the Board having the location
in charge? The financial condition OF
the county is too impoverished for
any sum Of money from the public
treasury to be given. The land, how
ever, might be easily procured and
profered the Board for the site OF the
station. There are number OF our
citizens who have the agricultural in
terest deep at heart, and they might
without any sacrifice lease the land
for the purpose. It would bereturnea
to them at the expiration OF The use OF
the ezperimentecs, more valuable, i'm
proved and highly cultivated. Who
among our philanthropic citizens will
donate this much for an experimental
station in Clarendon?
